ORC Club

The ORC Club (Offshore Racing Congress Club) is an international handicap system used to rate sailboats for racing. It assesses a boat's speed potential based on its design, measurements, and performance data, allowing different types of boats to race fairly against each other. By calculating a rating number, the system helps determine corrected race times, ensuring equitable competition regardless of boat size or design. This makes the ORC Club a valuable tool for organizing and participating in offshore and club level sailing races worldwide.
